Instance Methods

addAtom(self, atom)
Add an atom to the group

bool isCTerminus(self)
Returns True if the residue is in C-terminal configuration, i.e.

bool isNTerminus(self)
Returns True if the residue is in N-terminal configuration, i.e.

writeToFile(self, file)
Write the group to a file

Method Details

Add an atom to the group

Returns: bool: True if the residue is in C-terminal configuration, i.e. if it has a second oxygen bound to the carbon atom of the peptide group. False otherwise.

Returns: bool: True if the residue is in N-terminal configuration, i.e. if it contains more than one hydrogen bound to be nitrogen atom of the peptide group. False otherwise.
